“Am I Worthy of this Calling”; a spoken word about God’s call to ordination

In a dimly lit chamber, where shadows intertwine, Stands a man, trembling, with a heart burdened by time. The air is thick with incense, whispers fill the space, As he questions his worthiness, his soul’s sacred grace. A vessel of devotion, called to serve the divine, Yet doubts infiltrate, eroding […]

Love, oh Love, you’ve lingered too long in shadows

Love, oh Love, you’ve lingered too long in shadows

Love, oh Love, you’ve lingered too long in shadows, Wrapped in your gentle murmur, lost in hushed meadows. When the tempestuous tongues of hate grow bold, Why do you, in your whispers, leave your tales untold? Greed struts loud and brash, dressed in robes of power, While lies, like creeping […]
